@df Yeah, I glossed over everything but the speed comparison there didn't I. Thanks for clarifying the privacy implications, and I agree there isn't any privacy if they chose for there not to be - the power is all with them. I do find those $5 instances fun to play with though, when I just want to t...

Question: Is a cheap vps set up using https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand faster than Cryptostorm? To make it a bit unfair, I'm connecting directly from my laptop and not the router. Comparison is to my last post in this thread. $ ./speedtest-cli Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Te...

Well, my man, if my experience (once I got the fucker to work) is any encouragement to go through the hassle - on the same device it's feeling nice in terms of usage. As I showed on the speedtest thread, it's not lost any performance. Infact - but this might be my imagination - it feels slightly sna...

Ah, yeah, I misunderstood. Get ya now. All I know is the lack of being able to connect to the England node (a goto for me) promted my upgrading to ecc. The config in my router that had worked for years became a pain in the arse. What you say rings true from my experience, but as we're the only two b...

@parityboy. Hmmm. That's reminiscent of what I was experiencing before df held my hand yesterday, well, a stage of the recovery anyway. As we're on different OS's, I'll have to leave it to your interpretation, and I may be off; consider this brain storming, nothing as solid as direction. I was in th...

Here's how I've managed to get it to work with the new ECC connection. I'm sure there'll be tweaks and improvements (shout out if you know of any, dear reader), but it works and is stable on my router. The rest of this thread is bollocks now, and as I have time off work I'll set things strait. You'l...

@parityboy There's been some 'movement'. Works now, but seems to take a while to settle in. From my perspective, browser traffic comes in quickly but using my preferred of ip checking takes a good minute before it stops doing this - $ whois $(curl ipinfo.io/ip) % Total % Received % Xferd Average Spe...

Victory is mine!, of course with help from df. $ whois $(curl ipinfo.io/ip) % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 16 100 16 0 0 27 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 27 % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL fo...

FAO @df Getting closer. With the static key in the extended config, explicitly setting AES-256-GCM, and comp-lzo too (was getting an "write to TUN/TAP : Invalid argument (code=22)" error that a search revealed to be a bug which recommended that as a work around), it's getting as far as pulling in th...

Got to say, this upgrade has ruined my experience of Cryptostorm after an easy 4 years of it just ticking away almost without fault :/ I have tried so many combinations without any luck today. I just don't know what the fuck to do to make it work. *deep breath*. Here is my current broken config as i...

I'm using it to test speeds, and since I torrent a fair bit I'm wondering why it's only getting really poor speeds at times, and if that would carry on with an actual token. Also I have tested with qBittorent and the speeds were the same. Torrents (well seeded ones) download as fast as the processo...

Can be, depends upon which device is doing the 'work'/whether over wifi etc. That ping looks familiar to me when connected. I've a steady 40mb 'bare' connection, and connect through a router. On wifi via my laptop best I can expect is about 22-25MB/s, but via ethernet get around 33Mb/s. How I test t...
